BFBBMix

The BFBBMix logo.

BFBBMix is a work-in-progress mod of Battle for Bikini Bottom made by skyweiss with help from other members of the modding community. Its name is a portmanteau of "BFBB," the original game's abbreviation, and "remix."

Mod info

BFBBMix is a revisit to Battle for Bikini Bottom with new levels, objectives, and music. The terrain and various objects are constructed entirely of simple shapes, like cubes, cones, and cylinders, using Industrial Park to place them. Most other objects are imported from the original game.

On 6 September 2019, Jellyfish Fields was released, marking the first time BFBBMix was made playable.

Known issues

Quitting and exiting to the title screen can occasionally hard freeze. This is being looked into.
On Xbox, the King Jellyfish boss fight currently lacks custom sounds, to minimize chance of crashes. This will be worked on for future versions.
On Xbox, a rare crash occurs when warping to any of the first three spatulas in Jellyfish Fields (about 1 in 50).
